The Liverpool head coach's Feyenoord side won the Eredivisie title in 2022/23 when the Manchester United legend was in charge of title rivals PSV Eindhoven.
Finishing seven points clear of PSV, Feyenoord still lost 4-3 at the Phillips Stadion before being held to a 2-2 draw at De Kuip.
Meanwhile, Gakpo scored once and claimed three assists in the former before joining the Reds mid-season.
Van Nistelrooy joined Leicester City last month. And having been impressed by his compatriot when locking horns in their homeland, Slot has warned his side that they cannot underestimate the relegation-threatened Foxes.
